  • I don’t see why it’s a mistake. People simplify stuff, and those who care about such things (mostly us) will know the difference.

  • Unexpected spelling, but actually those are the key points of the article:

    1. Women get Alzheimer’s more than men, but mostly because they live longer.

This is how it looks on a 100€+ keyboard:

    Notice the double parenthesis: on this layout parenthesis are shift+8-9, but on English is shift+9-0

    By comparison this is how it looks like on a Keychron B6 Pro, the one I bought instead:
